Hi All,
I am doing a side-by-side upgrade to ARS 6.7 to ARS 7.0
The new environment is using SQL 2014 and has been all setup ready for the switch over.
However, I wanted to enable replication between the old and the new so I can leave the original setup running and keep the new up to date. However, I am having issues setting up replication.
The existing ARS 6.7 environment is running SQL 2008 on Windows 2008 R2. The ARS Service has been promoted to publisher and I attempted to add the new ARS 7.0 as a Replication Partner. This failed with the message "Failed to get required data from the specified Administration Service due to insufficient rights. Try connecting using a different user name"
The username I am using is the service account which is used across all environments and has Admin rights to all machines and databases.
Is this a supported replication solution? SQL 2008 to SQL 2014?
Thanks
Steve
